Some places are defined by their setting. Others by what has been created within it. Here, the two come together beautifully. Tucked away amongst established farms, with the Carbunup River winding its way through the grounds, this is a place where privacy, nature and a genuine sense of country living come together in a way that is increasingly hard to find.
Set on 1.14 hectares, the property is beautifully secluded, with a sealed, tree-lined driveway leading through established gardens and grounds. Fruit trees, vegetable gardens, ponds, mature plantings and the ever-present river create a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the outside world – where your closest neighbours may well be the cows grazing in the surrounding paddocks.
At the heart of it all is a character-filled home created by a timber craftsman, with warmth and individuality evident throughout. High ceilings, ornate stained-glass windows and cosy wood fires give the interiors a wonderful sense of character, while the renovated downstairs bathroom adds a modern touch. The master bedroom is particularly special, capturing stunning views across the Carbunup River and opening to its own private balcony a beautiful place to begin and end the day.
Outside, the property reveals even more. An undercover paved entertaining area provides a natural gathering place, while a freestanding gazebo overlooks the koi ponds, where healthy koi move through the water. The gardens have been thoughtfully established over time, with productive fruit trees and vegetable gardens adding to the property’s self-sufficient country feel.
Water is one of the defining features here. The Carbunup River winds through the property, flowing for around six months of the year, with a pool providing an additional water feature at the heart of the grounds. Rainwater tanks and an existing water licence provide further water resources.
For those needing serious workspace, storage or somewhere to pursue a passion, the massive shed is an exceptional feature. Equipped with three-phase power and previously licensed as a gallery, it presents genuine potential for a commercial enterprise or creative use, subject to the relevant authority approvals. An ablution block at the rear adds further practicality, while part of the shed has been thoughtfully converted into air-conditioned guest accommodation.
There is also ample parking, with the long sealed driveway providing plenty of space for vehicles, trailers, machinery or visitors without compromising the peaceful surrounds.
And yet, for all there is here, it is the feeling of the property that is perhaps hardest to capture. The sound of the river. The established trees. The gardens. The open paddocks beyond. The warmth of timber and wood fires. The sense of space and privacy. It is a property that invites you to slow down, spend more time outdoors and appreciate the simple pleasures of having your own piece of country.
Despite its wonderfully secluded position, Carbunup River General Store is only a short drive away, while Vasse provides easy access to modern amenities, medical services, Coles, the Vasse Farmers Market and everything else you need for day-to-day living.
This is not simply a property with acreage. It is a place with character, history and soul a rare riverside holding that has been thoughtfully created and cared for, and one where the next owners will be incredibly fortunate to write the next chapter.
